There was a forward-looking and constructive approach taken by both sides during Modi-Xi meeting: Foreign Secretary, S Jaishankar.

The two leaders reaffirmed that it is in the interest of both India and China to have good relations: Jaishankar.

The two leaders felt that there should be closer communication between the defence and security personnel of India and China, he says.

The two leaders also reaffirmed the understanding reached at Astana between Modi and Xi to not allow differences to become disputes: Foreign Secretary.

'Peace and tranquility in the border areas is a pre-requisite for ties to move forward'.

It was a forward-looking conversation and not a backward—looking one: Foreign Secretary said on whether Doklam standoff was left behind by the two sides.
